That happens, for instance, with Petrobras units in north-eastern Bra- zil. The company buys castor bean from small farmers, creating a new market niche for them, but, since it does not use that oil to make biodiesel, it does not get part of the incentives. Animal fat Introduction Animal fat (which is almost totally bovine fat) is the second most used biodiesel raw material in Bra- zil, only behind soybean oil and well ahead of cottonseed oil and oleaginous plants that are the main focus of the National Programme for Production and Use of Biodie- sel (PNPB), such as castor bean, rapeseed, or sunflow- er. In the Biodiesel Monthly Bulletin released by the Na- tional Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels Brazil of Biofuels (ANP), including preliminary data on June 2009, bovine fat accounts for 14.03% of total production, while soybean oil is 81.10%, cottonseed oil means 2.97% and the other raw materials are not even detailed, featured generically as “other fatty materials” and totalling only 1.90% of the biodiesel production in the period (see chart below). PERCENTAGE OF RAW MATERIALS USED TO PRODUCE BIODIESEL 2,97% 1,90% 14,03% Soybean Oil Bovine Fat Cotton Oil Other 81,10% Source: ANP (june 2009) In the nine monthly bulletins on biofuels by ANP available for consultation, which include informa- tion from October 2008 to June 2009, the percentage of bovine fat used in biodiesel production varied between 10.70% and 24.54% (see chart below), but animal fat re- mained all along as the second most used raw material. The cattle chain in Brazil presents serious so- cial, environmental and economic problems, which will be deeply discussed in the next chapters. By establishing such a significant link with it, the biodiesel industry be- comes still more fragile in its supposed tripod based on the sustainability ideal. Which are some of the reasons for the expressive participation of bovine fat as raw material in the national biodiesel production? For the general-co- ordinator for bioenergy of Ministry of Agriculture, Live- stock and Supply (MAPA) Denílson Ferreira, the main reasons would be “availability, competitiveness, and fa- vourable logistics, just as it happens to soybean”. That is, they purely economic justifications.

Os indígenas, especificamente os Pataxó, que contavam com o apoio dos Hãhãhãi, reivindicavam aquela área como seu território tradicional e solicitavam à Fundação Nacional do Índio (Funai) a revisão de limites da terra indígena, de maneira que a área do parque, uma unidade de conservação criada sobrepondo-se ao território indígena, vol- tasse a ser de sua livre circulação.

Recife, 2008 1 DEDICATÓRIA A minha família representada por Pedro, e aos meus amigos, representados por Nanda. 2 AGRADECIMENTOS Relutei um pouco para escrever esse agradecimento temendo que minha memória me traísse e eu acabasse esquecendo alguém importante. Mas diante do significado que esse trabalho tem para mim acredito que seria no mínimo indelicado da minha parte não fazer essa pequena homenagem àqueles que tanto influenciaram para que essa dissertação chegasse ao fim. Primeiro e sempre, quero agradecer a minha mãe, Ana e meu pai, Mano, que mesmo diante de todas as dificuldades da vida, encontraram um meio de “patrocinar” todas minhas “invenções”, inclusive e especialmente essa. Aos meus irmãos, Nelly e Dinho também devo agradecer, já que em muitos momentos difíceis eles me escutaram e me aconselharam a respeito da minha profissão e da minha vida em geral. Aos meus sobrinhos, Camila e Davi, agradeço todas às vezes que eu ficava com preguiça de estudar e os usava como desculpa para não faze-lo. A toda minha família tenho que agradecer o apoio e fé que sempre tiveram em mim. Em especial a tia Lucinha, e mais especial ainda a meu “tio Feo”, um dos que mais me incentivou a me meter nessa vida acadêmica e que também ficou pendurado algumas horas comigo ao telefone nos últimos anos, me dando coragem para continuar.

  • MOEMA As Origens Do Povoado Do Doce
    MOEMA As Origens do Povoado do Doce MOEMA As Origens do Povoado do Doce Segunda Edição 2 MOEMA As Origens do Povoado do Doce APRESENTAÇÃO DESTA SEGUNDA EDIÇÃO IMPRESSA Mensagem do Poder Executivo Municipal de Moema-MG Em meados de 1985, ano em que Tarcísio José Martins conheceu o seu padrinho de crisma, Rafael Bernardes Ferreira, então Prefeito Municipal de Moema, nasceu de ambos a vontade de romper com a especulação e com as hipóteses infundadas sobre a história deste município para, através da pesquisa documentada, desvendar, elucidar e resgatar a história e as origens do povoado do Doce. Passados pouco mais de dois anos, em Agosto de 1987, graças a um trabalho incan- sável, pautado na investigação documental dos arquivos de Pitangui e demais cidades da região, das entrevistas e depoimentos de pessoas mais velhas residentes no lugar, bem como de uma análise minuciosa dessa realidade, pôde o autor entregar à comunidade de Moema a primeira edição de “Moema, Origens do Povoado do Doce", obra que mais tarde, através de Projeto de Lei aprovado pela Câmara Municipal dos Vereadores em 21 de maio de 1998, se tornaria a fonte oficial de informações sobre a história do município. Desde então, pôde-se perceber que o moemense Tarcísio Martins se viu cada vez mais interessado pelo seu objeto de pesquisa: Moema, nossa terra tão querida! E seu interesse pela literatura permitiu que ele alçasse voos ainda maiores. Assim, Tarcísio escreveu diver- sas obras de extrema relevância, demonstrando seu potencial, inteligência e capacidade ao contestar escritores e teses para escrever um novo capítulo da História de Minas e dar as claras a acontecimentos ocorridos nos anos setecentos.

  • Brazil Relations India and Brazil Share a Very Close and Multifaceted
    India - Brazil Relations India and Brazil share a very close and multifaceted relationship at bilateral level as well as in plurilateral fora such as BRICS, BASIC, G-20, G-4, IBSA, International Solar Alliance, Biofuture Platform and in the larger multilateral bodies such as the UN, WTO, UNESCO and WIPO. The decade long bilateral strategic partnership, which has opened a new phase for India-Brazil relations, is based on a common global vision, shared democratic values, and a commitment to foster economic growth with social inclusion for the welfare of the people of both countries. Political Relations: India’s strategic partnership with Brazil continued to intensify in 2017. PM met his counterpart President Michel Temer on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in China on 4 September, 2017. EAM also met her counterpart Foreign Minister Aloysio Nunes on 20 September, 2017 on the sidelines of UNGA. Key issues of bilateral importance were discussed during the meetings, opening up opportunities on both sides to take this strategic partnership forward. Previously, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and President Michel Temer met at the VIII BRICS Summit which took place on October 15- 16, 2016 in Goa, India. On October 17, 2016, PM and President Temer held delegation- level deliberations to further strengthen the strategic partnership. Three MOUs were signed during the bilateral visit of President Temer, viz: (i) MOU between ICAR and Brazilian Agriculture Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) for Cooperation in the fields of Genetic Resources, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Natural Resources and Fisheries; (ii) MOU between Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries (DADF) and Brazilian Agriculture Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) on cooperation in the Fields of Zebu Cattle Genomics and Assisted Reproductive Technologies; (iii) MOU between Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) and the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) for cooperation in the field of pharmaceutical production regulation.
